DO NOT TRADE #3 or NEXT YEARS FIRST ROUNDER (LOADED DRAFT)

Honestly whatever they want they are going to have to take back Batum with it.

My offer looks like this:  Terry Rozier, Batum and both 2nd rounders this year. Still drafting Edwards or Okongwu if they are there.

Batum would drop off the books 2 years before Westbrook plus they get a young point.  Thats the deal.

Westbrooks contract is pretty terrible tbh but he is obviously still very good.

He wants out of Houston and his contract is gigantic.  Salary dump basically.

I just figure they can get some return out of him from somebody. A team who feels they’re a piece away may feel he is worth giving up a mid to low first or something along those lines, at the very least a second. With where we are as a franchise I don’t even want to give up a second round pick for him.

Thats fair...he is on the decline and for us to make this move it has to be an amazing deal and include Batum.  Period.

If we give up a first rounder for him this franchise is lost and ridiculous.  Cant do that.

I'm sick of the Hornets going after other teams' sloppy seconds stars. Westbrook, Howard, Lin, Lance, Big Al, Rozier, etc. Either go after a legit superstar or draft and develop players internally. Hard pass on Westbrook in any trade.

To be fair, Lance was in his prime. Big Al was under the age of 30. Rozier is still only 24, I do believe.

Yeah but as we saw with those guys, they had big questions marks and didn't last very long here/have success here. Rozier is to be determined, and I actually was pleasantly surprised by him last season but honestly I don't see him being a part of our core here, and I'd be shocked if he's here in 5 years.

If the Hornets really are interested, they have the leverage here if the rumors coming out of Houston are true. 

Like someone mentioned above, the only deal i’d make is Westbrook for Batum and Rozier.  I’m guessing they just want to get rid of his huge contract, they make that happen with Batum’s expiring contract and still get a capable starting PG. 

I personally wouldn’t make that deal, i’d rather be free of Batum’s contract after this year, but if it happens..it’d be an exciting starting lineup to watch, with the possible addition of James Weisman as our starting center or any of the other top rookies coming off the bench.

This is literally the last thing you want the hornets to do for a litany of reasons

First and foremost russ is a ball dominant aging star that won't win anything on a team with him as he currently plays

Two we'd be sacrificing our cap

Three this would take away playing time from our young guysp

Four wed be competitive enough to miss the lotto but not enough for the playoffs

Five russ s play style is not meant for longevity

      The Carolina Huddle

      By ladypanther · Posted

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.

      He wasn't a JAG, he's been a starter every year of his career. Didn't turn into the superstar it seemed like he might his rookie year, but I think part of that has been being misused. Guy was/is a baller.
